I am not handy and want to make sure the parts noted in the DIY are what I need - I would have my indy install. The issue is that when I lock my doors either with the door lock button or with the fob all doors lock except the passenger rear door - the lock does not move. I need to manually lock it. The lock does unlock, however, with either the door lock button or the fob, it just does not lock. Is this my issue in the DIY link or another problem? Thank you for any help.
I replaced two of those motors on my LX for the exact same symptom you described, unlocks fine but won't lock under power. The brushes on the motor I took apart were shot which made no sense because it uses power either way. I suppose there is some more conducive mechanical advantage in the unlock mode maybe.
FWIW I bought four of the motors off of eBay for $20 (5 ea).
